An increased attention of foreign and Russian scientists to current status, problems, and development prospects of the museum-reserves has been observed. Its evidence is reflected in intensified scientific reflection, organizing relevant research-practical conferences. It is noted, that a system of open-air museum models offered by M.E. Kaulen should be considered as a theoretical background for the museum-reserves up-to-date classification. The article summarizes study results of Siberian museum-reserves in the 2nd decade of the XXI century in the Russian and world historiography. A.Yu. Maynicheva has revealed features of forming and functioning of this museum group focused on the Historical-Architectural Open-Air Museum-Reserve of the Institute of History and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. V.A. Kaplunov has offered a concept (disputed by the authors of this article) of a complex museum-reserve based on an archeological monument as a modern museum type. L.V. Eremin has defined and characterized the museumification processes based on founding the museum-reserves in especially protected territories of the historical-cultural significance in republics of South Siberia. T.S. Kuryanova and P.V. Glushkova have carried on research devoted to the heritage problematics including analysis of open-air museums and museums-reserves activities. Systematization of the current Siberian museum-reserves in accordance with the profile (archeological, historical-architectural, memorial, ethnographical ones) has been implemented; the algorithm and perspectives for their development (foundation of a landscape museum-reserve, museumification of the Russian Orthodox Church heritage in Biysk and tourist destinations in Kemerovo region) have been specified. A role of museum-reserves in the development of the Siberian population’s cultural heritage and regional geobranding has been determined.
